No internet shutdowns, no silencing young voices. Elections must be open, inclusive, and connected. Access to the internet is access to participation, information, and democracy. #KeepTheInternetOnUG

Women Of Uganda Network @wougnet.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

Internet shutdowns hit some people harder than others: women, youth, persons with disabilities, rural communities, and small businesses. Digital exclusion during elections deepens inequality. That shouldn’t be our legacy. #KeepTheInternetOnUG

Women Of Uganda Network @wougnet.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

When the internet is shut down, it’s not just politics that suffers. Journalists can’t report. Businesses can’t trade. Families can’t communicate. Voters can’t verify. We all lose. #KeepTheInternetOnUG

Women Of Uganda Network @wougnet.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

Security matters. But blanket internet shutdowns silence everyone, including peaceful voters, observers, and the media. That’s why we’re calling for restraint, transparency, and respect for rights. #KeepTheInternetOnUG

This campaign is about prevention, not reaction. We’re raising our voices before polling day so Uganda doesn’t repeat the same mistakes. Connected elections are credible elections. #KeepTheInternetOnUG
